Modernizing Systems in Government Environments

Federal agencies are facing critical needs for information technology infrastructure upgrades and enhancements. Aging systems need to be replaced with modern ones that are equipped to deal with current and future workloads and requirements.

The federal government has recognized the need to bring its IT up to current standards and is prepared to spend billions of dollars on IT projects in 2010. Major goals are the overhaul of IT infrastructure at agencies such as NASA, Veterans Affairs, Social Security Administration, and many more.

Security and information sharing capabilities are key for these initiatives, particularly in light of terrorist threats.

Not only that, but cost-effectiveness is a top priority. The current administration has called out the fact that out-of-date and redundant government information technology is wasting taxpayer money that could be used to grow the economy. CIOs and others tasked with IT infrastructure decisions need to find the most effective ways to modernize at the best cost.

IDGA’s inaugural IT Infrastructure for Defense and Government conference is a high-level gathering of stakeholders who are serious about addressing the challenges at hand, discovering potential solutions and partnerships, and ensuring success and accountability.
